It's not too showy, and it very tastefully exudes an image of importance -- a classic for the upwardly mobile career woman.

This fine quality pearl strand contains pearls perfectly matched in shape, color and luster. This strand is an A quality, the first grading out of (1) A, (2) A+, (3) AA and (4) AAA. The better the grade, the more luster the pearls have. Luster is the mirror like quality of the pearl. It is the amount of light that reflects off the surface of the pearl. Higher luster pearls with an A+ grade are more valueable than the A grade. This necklace comes standard length at 16 inches long. All the pearls are over 7.5mm millimeters and under 8mm millimeters. These pearls were farmed in the saltwater oceans off the shores of japan. This is where the inventor of the cultured pearl made his first round cultured pearl that changed the world.
